Twelve intrepid adventurers (including three brave visitors) set off to conquer the Golden Gully walk behind Moruya. The “gentle hills” turned out to be a rather generous interpretation of gentle and were a bit longer than expected, and, as nature insists, the downhill stretch followed suit. Turnip Road made a brief cameo appearance before vanishing into the undergrowth, and morning tea was shared with a small, curious goanna who clearly approved of our snack choices. The day warmed up more than the forecast had promised, so after some democratic discussion (and not a little relief), the group wisely voted to save the biggest climb for another time. Lunch back at the Moruya Car Park was a delight, complete with a cool river breeze and plenty of good conversation. All in all, it was a fine outing – legs stretched, visitors welcomed, and holiday stories enthusiastically exchanged.
